Hi again, we had good fun down on the farm today, if a bit muddy! Also we hit the charity shops in Wimborne ( v posh) on the way back and got the kiddies a nice top each. Bought some lovely whoopsied food for tea and have a banana cake baking in the oven. It smells lovely
Snuggle up with OH, catch-up with Lost and some wine later, so all in all a pretty good day for me. Hope you have a good evening, L x0 -
Right, I've instituted a new policy for my current accounts; that's my deed for the day.
Instead of constantly using the card which offers an overdraft, and racking up negative interest, I'll use the other card. It doesn't have an overdraft, but I do have a spreadsheet, so I should know what's coming out of there.
As long as I keep my eye on the ball, I can avoid paying £1.50 or so a month in interest. That's a win, right?Debts (26.3% remaining) - CC/BARC: [strike]2058[/strike] 100.00 @0%; CC/MBNA: [strike]1877.75[/strike] 0.00; Loan/SLC: [strike]10000[/strike] 7901.84 @1.5%; Loan/Per: [strike]1500[/strike] 0.00; Loan/HX: [strike]15000[/strike] 0.00

Evening all,
Well today i have allocated off tomorrows wages off and have a surplus (£9) but better than normal.
Have had 5 NSD 's in a row now and when i was at work last night i kept thinking why do i buy all this random food just coz i get staff discount,
I have taken llunch everyday this week and it tastes much better knowing i can do a weeks sandwiches for say £5 and id spend that or more a day before.
I think i need a sit down lol!!0 -

Having been in debt for 6 years, I have for the last few months been out of debt and saving. The thing I do now is record everything I spend. So I updated my diary today with my spends.0
